Is This the Right Part?
✅ Cross Reference Information
Common Symptoms
- Refrigerator or freezer temperatures rise or fail to recover when a sealed-system refrigerant leak is present.
- An accessible tubing joint may show oily residue or physical damage; this is only an inspection clue and does not confirm that W11504420 is the failed part.
- A qualified sealed-system test may identify a refrigerant leak at the 8 mm-to-6 mm connection.
Check Before Replacing
- Confirm the exact appliance model's official repair-parts list calls for W11504420 (identified as 8/6 NR MS 00) at the applicable sealed-system tube junction before ordering or servicing.
- Without loosening, cutting, or disturbing refrigerant tubing, visually inspect any safely accessible connection area for obvious damage or oil residue.
- Have a qualified sealed-system technician evaluate cooling loss and perform refrigerant recovery, leak testing, and recharge as required; do not use symptoms alone to diagnose this coupler.
Pro Tip
Part Details
Installation Notes
- This is a sealed-system repair involving refrigerant recovery and recharge; Whirlpool/Sears guidance supports service by a trained, licensed refrigeration/appliance technician.
- Use the specified Lokring connection method and appropriately sized professional tooling for the model-specific repair location.
- Do not substitute a different-size or different-material Lokring connector based only on appearance; follow the appliance's repair-parts documentation.
- For Whirlpool products using aluminum heat-exchanger tubing, Whirlpool specifies a Lokring connection rather than brazing for applicable sealed-system repairs.
